Countdown to Burned Release
I think it is important for Dani to experience love. It will be good for her growing process since she has never experienced this.
New teaser up this morning!!!"I kill. It's what I do. It's who I am. It's who I've always been. I will never change. Stay out of my way. Or your free passage will be rescinded."
Who do you all think is saying this? I'm thinking Lor or one of the others directed towards Mac.
I think it's ryodan. Lor wouldn't use words like "rescind." And Barrons wouldn't explain himself like that.
A hard one. I have no clue, could be many of them. Wish that KMM wouldn't be so secretive. Someone on Facebook thought it could be Mac talking to the Grey Woman, as Mac gave her free passage. I don't think it's Ryodan.Over to something I was wondering about. How do you pronounce Ryodan? In my mind it's Riodan. How do you guys pronounce it?
I pronounce it Ri-oh-dan with a long "I" sound like in the word "right"Am I reading they way you pronounce it right, Winnie? Ree-oh-dan? That never crossed my mind.
Oh, and I don't think it is Mac talking, she wouldn't describe herself as always having been a killer. Unless she is blustering, maybe. Hmm, now I'm questioning my opinion on it being Mac... they did use the wordage "free passage" when the bargain was made with the grey woman. 6 weeks from tomorrow.... this needs to hurry up! LOL
I pronounce it the same way, KimeyDiann. Ri-oh-dan. I think the quote was from Ryodan maybe to Mac. He keeps her around for Dani. Nothing more. Just don't get in his way.
Hm. At first I pronounced it Ri-oh as well. But when I saw Dani calling him Ry-O in Shadowfever, it stuck. So Ry-oh-dan for me. lol.
Yeah, that is how they pronounce it in the audio books. Ry like Rye bread. Rye oh dan ....My guess is that the teaser is Barrons talking.
Why did you say it Barrons? Who would he say that too?

I was pronouncing it both ways, but when I said the name out loud for the first time ever while talking about the book with a friend, I had a hard time pronouncing it. I think it's Rye-o-dan and not Ree-o-dan now, though :)
Samantha wrote: "Why did you say it Barrons? Who would he say that too?"It seems as though KMM is focusing in on Mac & Barron's relationship in Burned and that there is going to be some sort of big misunderstanding or barrier in their relationship. I could see him saying this to Mac during a heated disagreement. As to "free passage," not quite sure what I think it would mean in that context. Perhaps the Nine not killing her? idk...
I think Ryodan is saying this to Mac even Lor can say this to her because of Dani!! If Mac is fretening Dani? Ryodan and Lor will be very protective of her! They don't like Mac!
Hi guys!I've read the whole discussion and wanted to thank you for keeping us all updated with Burned news and teasers.It's really entertaining reading your comments!I found Lor's whole teaser so please enjoy! I'm going to post it in two comments :)
“WHO AM I?”the blonde kneeling between my legs demands.
I need to come so bad I hurt.
I know the answer she wants. She wants me to call her ‘Mistress.’Like she’s the Dom.She’s already tried to get me to say it twice, sneaking it in like she thinks I won’t notice because of the mind-blowing stuff she’s been doing with her lips and tongue and that flawlessly executed glide of teeth so few women ever master when giving head.
She’s wasting her time.It’s never going to happen.There isn’t a submissive bone in my body. I’m Alpha to the motherfucking core.
I pull her head from my groin and grin down at her.Hot, horny blondes are a dime a dozen at Chester’s.Riots may have sacked Dublin last Halloween and a killer freeze might have shut the city down for a while, but it’s rebounding fast. People have been flooding in, resettling on both sides of the River Liffey, drawn by the thaw, restored power and supplies, but most of all by the endless parade of sexually insatiable Fae that pack the bars and dance floors of 939 Rêvemal Street every night of the week, hunting human lovers. The hottest, most deadly nightclub in Dublin is bigger, better and badder than ever:Chester’s is Sin Central—if you want it, we got it.
“You’re not that good, honey.”I flash her a grin.My comment is guaranteed to spark one of two things:either she’ll get up and walk out pissed or I’ll get even better head.
I know by her confidence—and the hungry way she’s been watching me all night—she’s not walking.
She laughs and runs her tongue over her lips to make them even wetter,shiny with the spit of a pro and pre-ejac.I lean back against Ry’s desk, looking forward to her amped up performance, watching her,watching the club through the glass floor beneath my boots, loving life.As long as women walk this earth, I’ll be a happy man.If they ever get wiped out, I’m done.I’ll go in search of K’Vruck.
She slaps the head of my dick then closes her mouth over it in one long perfect slide all the way to the base…does some kind of swirly thing, then an intense suck back out.
I nearly stagger.
Son of a bitch,she’s good.
She has her hands on my ass,face grinding into my groin,my dick is down her throat,and I’m a frigging volcano about to blow. Problem is,I been ready for a good twenty minutes but whenever I get close, she mixes it up and shoves it out of reach.What was initially a turn-on has become a pain in the ass.Not to mention the balls. I’m beginning to think they might rupture.I’m dripping sweat and I’m not even the one doing the work,although I’m looking forward to getting down to it.The woman has one damn fine body.
I take her head in my hands and try to move her mouth on me the way I want.
She resists with a muffled laugh.
I pull her mouth off me and she looks up, smiling. Takes my breath away for a second. Her hair is a hot mess around her face, just the way I like it—bed-head always makes me want to fuck. Then again, pretty much everything does.
“Let me come, honey,” I say.“There’s plenty more after,if that’s what you’re worried about.”
“Do I look worried? I know exactly what to expect from a man like you. Who am I?” She flicks her tongue over the swollen head of my dick.
I start to hit it, that’s how close I am, but then she does this twisting thing with her hands and mouth at the same time, and I got needles on my dick.
Pleasure killed by pain.
Velvet of her mouth.
Needles.
It’s starting to chafe more than I like. And I’ve been known to play rough with the right woman. Or three.
“Mistress,” she purrs. “Is it really so much to ask? For what I make you feel?”
I consider. She is blonde with big, beautiful tits. Whole world knows I got a weakness for the combo. That’s how I’d ended up in the boss’s office, leaning back against his desk, leather pants around my ankles, buck-naked brick shithouse between my legs while the bass of Rob Zombie’s Pussy Liquor—and when the hell is she ever gonna give that up? It’s one of my finest skills and I haven’t even gotten the chance to dazzle her—rumbles in the desk beneath my ass, pounding up from one of the sub-clubs below.
I love this place. Definitely one of our better investments.
“I’m giving you the best head you’ve ever had,” she says. “Admit it.”
Not a problem. I say so to every woman that sucks me. Women enjoy doing things they excel at, praise guarantees repeat performances, every repeat performance is more practice for the woman, which guarantees the next man even better head. Given how long I’ve been at this, and on how many continents, I’m pretty sure I’ve single-handedly improved the quality of head around the world.
“Sure, babe, you’re the best. Head. Ever.” Damn close anyway.
“Who am I?” she purrs.
I groan. “The bitch sucking my dick.” We agreed on no names. She asked me to call her bitch downstairs when we were doing shots at the bar. Said it turned her on. Later, with a laugh, she switched it to princess. Now she wants mistress. High maintenance. Some women are worth it.
She cups my balls and squeezes, then begins sucking them with exquisite precision. All the muscles in my abdomen clench and I exhale explosively. I’m beginning to think this might be the best orgasm I’ve ever had. If I ever get around to the bloody fucking thing.
“You really don’t get this, do you?” she says. Laughter tinkles and the hair on the back of my neck feels weird all the sudden. There’s a darkness to the sound that might worry me if she wasn’t so frigging hot.
Speaking of hot, I look down to see sweat running down my six-pack, dripping down my legs. I’m practically standing in a puddle of my own sweat. What the hell did Ry do? Crank up the heat in Chester’s to a hundred? I’m burning up. Lightheaded, like I have a fever. Which is impossible.
“Don’t care. You’re here. I’m here. Do that thing with your tongue again. The swirly thing.”
“I’ll give you a clue,” she says and somehow she’s smiling while she’s sucking and for a second I think I see rows of tiny needle-sharp shark teeth. Not what a man wants to hallucinate with a woman’s hot wet mouth on his dick. I blink and wipe sweat from my eyes. Trick of the light. She has perfect teeth, movie star white, framed to perfection by smears of crimson lipstick, most of which is all over my dick and stomach. Oh, yeah, I’ll take a blonde with cherry red lipstick every day of the week that ends in a ‘y.’ Life is sweet. I laugh.
She cuts me a look then shoves me back on the desk and I’m cold where her mouth was burning, then she’s on top of me, slamming down onto me and I’m pushing up into her. I’m a grenade, pin out. Feels like my whole body is going to hit it, blow apart, come from head to toe. Bloody hell, sex has never been like this. I’m on fire, so frigging hot I’d swear the desk is burning.Wait a second, it is.
Orange flames are licking up around us, like my sweat is some kind of gasoline sloshed across the lacquered ebony. We must have spilled some tequila. Must have been a candle on the desk. I’m sprawled on my back in fire and can’t even feel it. She leans into me, joins me in the flames, fists her hands in my hair and we kiss.
It’s unfucking real.
I half-expect celestial trumpets to blare. I feel like my skin is melting and we’re merging into each other. Strange shit. But damn, my dick has never felt better.
“Who am I? Is it so difficult to give me such tiny thing? A little respect. That’s all I’m looking for, honey. I can give you so much in return.”
Christ, she sounds just like me, right down to her inflection on the word ‘honey.’ I always get them to call me whatever I want. I’m always in control. Isn’t much I like more than a beautiful woman tied to my bed while I make her come till she passes out. So what’s my problem? Like she says, it’s a small thing. What can one word hurt? It isn’t like letting a woman have the power for a change can bring about the end of my world as I know it, for fuck’s sake.
I open my mouth and suck her tongue deep, grinding in, sliding out. I feel my dick inside her, and I also feel what she’s feeling: Me filling her, giving her all she wants except for this one tiny little thing that is so important to her for some reason. Maybe some man treated her like shit and now she needs to be called Mistress to get back some of her own. Maybe I’m part of the healing. Maybe it’ll make her come as violently as I know I’m going to. I like women. I want them to feel good. It’s practically been my mission in life.
“Who am I?”
I try to shape the word twice and still fail. I’d honestly like to give her what she wants but submission just isn’t the stuff I’m made of.
She clamps down on me and….aw, shit, she squeezes! She has muscles that could milk a herd of Holsteins dry. I buck and nearly get off but then she’s soft again and I get the feeling she could do this all night if she wants. And this crazy babe might just want to.
“Mistress,” I manage to growl. “Now make me come or get the fuck off me ‘cause I’m jacking off.”
“Tell me you want me more than life itself,” she croons, all soft and sultry.
“Sure, honey.” I’ve gone this far. If Ryodan ever finds out I called some babe Mistress, I’ll never hear the end of it.
“Would you die for me?” she asks breathlessly.
I’m beginning to see no matter how hot this woman is, despite her plentiful talents, she has serious-ass issues. Looking for some big strong man to play hero for her. Who the hell isn’t? Every woman downstairs.
I excel at the role. And I need to come. Simple enough exchange.
I grab her ass, grind up and drive deep. “Protect you. Rescue you. Guard your frigging honor if you have any left by the time I’m done with you, woman. Now squeeze.”
“But would you die for me?”
I don’t tell her I might kill her if I don’t come soon.I might turn. She’s kept me on the brink too long. I’m getting edgier than is safe with a woman. “Sure, honey. Whatever.” She doesn’t know I can’t. She doesn’t even know my name.
She pulls back and smiles down at me with rows of needle-sharp shark teeth.
Blonde hair darkens to blood-black.
Red lips fade to white. Then ice-blue.
Flames leap up around us. Takes me a second to process—also blue.
Aw, fuck.
I stare up, a little slow to get it.
I’m too close to coming to think real fast. Hell, her tits are too far in my face for me to think real fast.
Unseelie. The bitch is Unseelie. I can’t believe I didn’t pick up on it. I’m not easy to fool. Well, sans blonde hair and curves enough to happily smother a man.
She’s dark Fae. Twisted buggers, one and all, some more than others.
And she wanted me to call her princess….
Unseelie. Princess.
I narrow my eyes, staring up at her.
Nah.
The dark king never got around to making them. They’re a myth. They don’t exist. Damn good thing, too.The Unseelie Princes are problem enough.
Oh, honey, she purrs in my mind, we certainly do. Trapped in a library for a small eternity. One of yours let us out.Good thing, too. Men have too much power on this world. We will fix that.
“Get the fuck off me.”
You called me Mistress.You said you would die for me. I own you.
I laugh. “Yeah, right. Try pursuing that thought.” I shove her off me but my hands go the wrong way, fly up over my head and abruptly I’m slammed flat on my back, with both wrists manacled to one end of the desk.
Links snake around my throat.
My waist. My ankles.
Fuck me.
I’m chained.
I lunge up testing the links, snarling. Magic doesn’t work on me. Neither does glamour. Yet both seem to be. What the hell is going on?
We are a singular recipe. His final creation. She smiles and there are those frigging shark teeth again.
I’m immobilized, pants at my ankles, dick sticking straight up, and this bitch has shark teeth. I’m beginning to think this might not to turn out to be one of my finer nights.
“Say it again,” she says but now she’s all icy, imperious princess. “Who am I?”
No way I’m saying it again.
Ever.
My mouth opens and it says, “Mistress,” offending every goddamn fiber of my being. I think my balls actually shrivel.
She slaps me. Hard across the face.
“I’m going to kill you, you crazy motherfucking bitch,” I say tenderly. My kind doesn’t get loud when we’re about to annihilate. We go soft and gentle. See us like that: worry. She doesn’t know I’m one of the few in existence that can actually make good on that promise. She doesn’t know who or what I am.
She’ll be calling me Master before she dies.
“Who am I?” she says.
I clamp my mouth shut and strain against the Fae compulsion and still my vocal cords grit, “Mistress.”
Oh, yeah, definitely killing her. Ten different ways and slow.
“That’s a good boy, Lor.”
What the fuck, she knows my name?
“Now we’re really going to play,” she purrs.
Oh snap!!!! You have the Lor post! LOL. I need to read this book already.
Holy moly! no words... thank you so much Denitsa!
Gawd, I feel like I have been waiting for Burned for years, and unlike some of you I have not. I have waited a year. I have started plenty series that are not finished, without being so desperate to read the next book. I have been thinking "what if I die before the series is done, and never find out if Dani and Ryodan get together". Or worse, "what if something happens to the author and no one ever finds out how it ends". Anyway, I have a feeling that nothing big is going to happen between Ryodan and Dani in Burned even if Dani is a bit older. While reading the snippet from Lors POV, the only thing I'm thinking is how many pages is this and how many fewer pages will Dani and Ryodan get now.
Winnie, I have thought the same thing. LOL. What if I never know what happened to them? I thought I was the only one with those thoughts.It's only 500 + pages and we know that the won't get that good page time that we need. I had to come to terms with that in my heart. Too many things going on now.
Haha, it's prbably a nice place for obsessed people like us i.e. in an a mental hospital :)
LOL for sure. I wondered who will help Lot get out of his predicament.
Hoping he will manage it himself without any help. In a later teaser Lor is keeping a woman tied to his bed. I'm not sure if that woman is the U. princess, but it could be. I'm wondering where Ryodan is while Lor is keeping company in his office. Any predictions there?
That's what I'm saying. Where is Ryo at that you got some chick in his office. Lol. I thought the 2nd scene was just like a week later. Ryo is still gone and he is still boning that chick. I thought Ryo was out searching for Dani. At this point she is MIA.
Yes I got the impression that Lor is in charge of Chesters! Ryo O Ryo where r you my Ryo?
OMG! I can't believe you found the Lor scene! Good job Denitsa!!! This makes me so excited!
We are down to 5 weeks from tomorrow! With Christmas and New Years coming up, it'll be here in no time. That is what I'm telling myself anyway, lol!
LOL. I know ladies. Lor is being naughty and caught in a bad situation.
Are anyone of you going to the book signing?
If I can get one wish from a fairy god mother now it will be for the 20 .01.2015 !!! F world peace or hunger I need this book!!

Guys... I can't take it anymore... I need this book now...
So I'm thinking this morning about this book and we figure that she won't get with Ryo like that in Burned. At least that is my prediction. However, she will deal with hormones, etc. I'm wondering how big of a role Dancer will play into that. Also, we really don't know what he is. A mere human? I don't know. But if he was something else, wouldn't Christian or Ryodan have picked up on it? They were around him at times too. I need to ponder this today.
Good question, Samantha. Many people think that Dancer is still human, but that he also is the human that drank that elixir from a seelie princess. I think that his name was Rhymer or something. Barrons has met Ryhmer, but we don't know if Ryodan has. So Dancer could be human, but long-lived- which would maye explain why Ryodan and Christian haven't picked up on him not being human- because he is human.
Winnie wrote: "Good question, Samantha. Many people think that Dancer is still human, but that he also is the human that drank that elixir from a seelie princess. I think that his name was Rhymer or something. Ba..."I know but I think that it would be the easy route.
We shall see. If he is ever around Barrons then we will get the truth of it.
Haha, yeah.. but not everything has to be intricate, and I never would have guessed that there could be a link between Dancer and Rhymer if it wasn't for other fans predictions. And anyway it could be another route, but I think this one makes sense.
I don't think Dancer is Rhymer. I've seen that theory tossed around too but I'm not buying in to it. I'm not sure what Dancer is exactly. I'm thinking human, but with some type of powers. Or maybe an entirely new type of supernatural being. The king made the sidhe-seers, maybe he made a male counterpart to them too.

Oooooh. I like that. Lol.
This is off the topic but I must share. Out of desperation for new Burned news I asked Kresley Cole (the author of Immortals After Dark) about the Burned and Ryodan because she got to read early, not expecting a reply (she has about 170,000 followers on Facebook). But today I saw her made an entire post to answer my question!! Talk about excitent. The link to the answer is here: my link text:))))
OMG! Wow. That is exciting that she responded to you.
Yes!! I was speechless for a little bit lol! I loved her answer, especially when it has Ryo and BLISTERING HOTNESS in the same thought.
Me too!!!! I need to know why he is blistering hot in the book. What does he do??????? I might have a meltdown. LOL
Hahaha! Same here Samantha!!! Ryodan what the heck kind of intrigues did you raise? i pray Mac and Barrons don't eat up the pages too much. GOSH I'm so desperate.
Cookie, we are so in the same boat. Well I'm convince that after the holiday, it will fly by. I have to tell myself that.
KMM reposted it on her FB page as well. Cool!
buy and wrap about two cars of presents and bake 5 rounds of holiday pastries, you'll forget the time, I assure. 4 weeks left to go!I called to reserve my copy at Barnes and Noble so I can hopefully get it a few days early, because my b&n usually just gives the books away the day they come to their store. And I know I saw!!!
OMG, finally something on Ryodan. I'm having trouble consentrating on work- which is very bad. I was laughing at your post to another author asking about Ryodan and Dani, I TAKE IT BACK! Never thought anyone would give us anything about Ryodan. Good work, Cookie :)

I like this idea. Unlike Mac, who was loved so much growing up, Dani has really only been shown love and kindness by a few people--debatably some of the sidhe seers, Mac, and Dancer. I think it is important for Dani to learn about and experience familial love too.
@Inada --- wow great theories! I would agree that Jo could definitely betray Dani. Not sure about the other theories, but it will be interesting to see everything play out :)
